Lindsey=l
Logan=h
h=l+2
(h-5)+(l-5)=30
h-5+l-5=30
h+l-10=30
h+l=40
l+l+2=40
2l+2=40
2l=38
l=19
h=21
So Lindsey is 19

Hope this helps :)

X is 2 more than y
x=2+y

5 years ago (x-5 and y-5)
sum is 30
x-5+y-5=30
x+y-10=30

x=2+y
sub 2+y for x
2+y+y-10=30
2y-8=30
add 8 to both sides
2y=38
divide both sides by 2
y=19

Lindsey is 19

Please can someone help me on this I’m trying to revise for my test and I don’t understand this question

Answer:

∠ EAB = 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ EBC and ∠ BCD are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , so

∠ BCD = 180° - ∠ EBC = 180° - 148° = 32°

the sum of the 3 angles in Δ ADC = 180° , that is

∠ EDC + ∠ BCD + ∠ EAB = 180°

63° + 32° + ∠ EAB = 180°

95° + ∠ EAB = 180° ( subtract 95° from both sides )

∠ EAB = 85°

Suppose ∠A and ∠B are complementary angles, m∠A = (3x + 5)°, and

mario62 [17]

m∠A + m∠B = 90
(3x + 5) + (2x - 15) = 90
(3x + 2x) + (5 - 15) = 90
5x - 10 = 90
+ 10 + 10
5x = 100
5 5
x = 20

m∠A = 3x + 5
m∠A = 3(20) + 5
m∠A = 60 + 5
m∠A = 65

m∠B = 2x - 15
m∠B = 2(20) - 15
m∠B = 40 - 15
m∠B = 25
